So a few years ago CCP announced plans to do a tv show. I haven't heard much on it, and I hope it's still a thing. In the meantime though, I just started watching Dark Matter on Syfy, which is surprisingly well put-together. A lot of the storyline and world/backdrop resembles Eve in a lot of ways. A couple episodes in and you'll see exactly what I mean.
Here's the trailer. I wish I could give away a pretty important plotline but, spoilers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TqwBlTQfTg |

I just couldn't bring myself to get invested in Dark Matter. It didn't grab me the way...say...Killjoys did.
And Killjoys could certainly be an EVE scenario. What with it's emphasis on corporate overlords battling is out for resources and territory. As well as independent mercenary groups willing to do whatever if the price is right.
Mr Epeen
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

I watched killjoys too, and the acting seemed too cheesy and a little forced at times. Not a bad show. I think they both have a bit of Eve in them. How much Dark Matter did you watch? Only 6 eps so far, keeps getting better with each episode, and more eve-y. |

Dark Matter is a great sci-fi show which has lots of scope, I can see this show has the potential to run for 7 seasons. The actors are great and the show reminds me of Firefly.
It is a must watch for any sci-fi fan.

They should pay Joss Whedon and his bro to do it. Joss Whedon is responsible for shows like buffy, angel, agents of shield, and Firefly which I mentioned before, also they were involved in the Avengers series of films.
I think an Eve Series or film needs lots of humour in such a serious and brutal setting like eve online. On the other hand it could be dark like game of thrones. Either way It will be great to see CCP diversify into TV.

You're right it didn't. Over the years they have cancelled some good shows, must be to do with ratings..anyone remember Defying Gravity ?

Well, not because it was bad or anything. The Unit was a good show too, and getting better each season actually. Stopped midway through season 4 because the writers couldn't agree with where they wanted to go with the story. Supposedly, viewer count was also an issue, though the few that watched it (including me) thought it was a pretty good show. Sadly, sometimes something other than the quality of a show gets it killed, even if the quality is why it should keep running.

Defying gravity is easy.
Simply remove all of the celestial bodies in the night sky and what do you have that produces gravity?
Here is a new find. There is a large hole void in the center of the Universe that is nearly a billion light years across.
What it even more interesting is it shaped like an egg or the Capsule.
So which came first the chicken or egg?

Looks pretty interesting, will look into it thanks.
Although if it is good lets hope Syfy doesn't cancel it suddenly like Caprica or SGU |

I came, I saw, I fell to sleep. SGU was way better even the first 6 or 8 episodes. I guess about only thing I like atm is vikings and defiance. But I gave it a try.

Watched episodes 1-7 of Dark Matter. They have some clones (which is present in loads of Sci-Fi) ... and what other similarities to EVE?

Also they are all badguy killer mercs for the most part. (Some may be framed but whatever still killer "bad guys") This is like eve and unlike most shows (killjoys) where the main guys are lovely whiteknights |

Clones present in loads, but not in the sense that it's a culturally universally accepted thing. Clones in sci-fi are usually some conspiracy thing. I haven't seen much sci-fi where clones are used this way (Boot up your own clone and control it yourself from afar.)
That's JUST like eve jump clones, and could be pretty close to medical clones. A few tweaks and this could've easily been an eve show. "A jump clone gone wrong, now it survives on its own as a real person"
Other similarities are, one of the episodes had 2 large corps fighting over the same mining outpost. The atmosphere of it is very eve-like, especially when they docked at a station (Jita anyone?) |

Likely they are all just clones of Cpt. Dylan Hunt. Hmmm... I didn't know EVE was all about "bad guys". I generally play more lawful-neutral (e.g military or bounty hunters etc.). Though if there is just a lack of law, or bad law, then I might go neutral-good (e.g. rogue or assassin). EVE seems a mix of a lot of things, has social sandbox aspects that you define for yourself depending on the circumstances you put yourself into, or your characters.

The story-craft in Killjoys is better. I watched several episodes of both, and Killjoys was the one I'd end up thinking about after.
